Beschreibung

In "The History of the Russian Campaign," Count Philip de Segur delivers a meticulous account of the catastrophic 1812 invasion of Russia by Napoleon's Grande Arm√©e. Written with a sharp narrative style, the book intertwines rigorous military analysis with vivid personal reflections, creating a compelling chronicle that transcends mere historical record. De Segur captures the psychological complexities of war, the unforgiving Russian landscape, and the fate of a colossal army caught in the turmoil of an ill-fated campaign, all while articulating broader themes of ambition, hubris, and the unpredictable nature of fate in military endeavors. As a French diplomat and officer who witnessed the events firsthand, de Segur's insights stem from a deeply personal and professional engagement with the Napoleonic Wars. His aristocratic background and extensive military experience afford him a nuanced understanding of both the high command's decisions and the soldiers' plight. De Segur'Äôs reflections often reveal a poignant awareness of the human cost of war, underscoring the author'Äôs belief in the moral consequences of conflict and ambition. This book is recommended for anyone interested in military history, Napoleonic studies, or the broader implications of war on society. De Segur's eloquent prose and astute observations not only enrich our understanding of the Russian campaign but also invite readers to reflect on the enduring lessons of history.

    In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard M. Weaver evaluates the ethical and cultural role of rhetoric and its reflection on society. Weaver draws upon classical notions of rhetoric in Plato's Phaedrus, and he examines the effectiveness and implications of the manipulation of language in the works of Lincoln, Burke, and Milton. In this collection of essays, Weaver examines how different types of rhetoric persuade, their varying levels of effectiveness and credibility, and how one's manner of argumentation and style of persuasion are indicative of character. Ultimately, Weaver argues that the cultivation of pure language creates pure people. Initially published in 1953, The Ethics of Rhetoric remains timeless in its evaluation of rhetoric's role in society. 
    Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) an esteemed scholar, humanist, cultural critic, and political philosopher, revolutionized conservativism of the mid-twentieth century. Weaver's original scholarship produced groundbreaking insight on human nature and society.

    Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Are you skeptical of beliefs that people maintain merely "on faith," yet you remain interested in the big questions of life? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic? 
     
     
     
    If so, then philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to a series of universal truths about ultimate reality. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway—step by step, brick by brick—that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately, a vision of God.
